Thomas Horton presents information on bimetallic conductors as an alternative to solid copper wire. Some key points include: Bimetallics use a thin layer of copper bonded to a core metal like steel or aluminum, providing conductivity with stronger and lighter materials. They have more stable pricing than copper and are resistant to theft. While in use for decades, bimetallics could see more applications if engineers better understood their advantages over pure copper. Fushi Copperweld aims to work with cable manufacturers to develop new bimetallic solutions.
